With so few good new titles being released these days, especially by major studios, I figured I'd make a thread for everyone to share your favourite classic or older games, especially if they're lesser-known titles that others might have missed at the time.
I'll open with The Saboteur (2009), Mercenaries (2005) and Saints Row 2 ( The 2008 original)
they've been on my list.
X-Wing alliance was a game my parents got me next to Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo and Freddy Fish, not realizing what kind of game it was. I have fond memories of digging up the discs in our junk drawers every few years and reinstalling it on our computers. it would install natively all the way from Windows 2000 to Windows 7, just had to have a joystick. I barely even played the campaign, I spent my entire time in the mission editor in playing custom missions. it was actually possible to kill a star destroyer with a YT 1300 or YT 2000 by setting the turrets to autofire and strafing it from a distance.
